Vegetable Blend  20 is the number of vegetables, greens,
rhizomes and
peppers that are included in this powerhouse
formula. The National Cancer Institute suggests that cruciferous
vegetables like
broccoli,
(rich in sulforaphane) along with other vegetables, may be
important in the prevention of some types of cancer. The full
array of colors in this blend is a clue to the amount of carotenoids that are present. The phytonutrients here are vast
and powerful. Loaded with blood cleansing chlorophyll, lycopene
for the eyes and prostate, we can also see virtually every known
vitamin and important mineral in their natural state. It is rich in detoxifying enzymes, substances like
indole-3-carbinol (which affects the metabolism of estrogen in a
way that might protect against breast cancer), flavanoids,
coumarins, beta-carotene and a host of mixed carotenoids,
allicin from
garlic (which along with other sulfur rich
compounds called thiosulfinates, have proven to lower blood
pressure, decrease platelet aggregation (stickiness), serum
triglycerides and the “bad” or LDL cholesterol while increasing
the “good” or HDL cholersterol), some 400 known compounds in
ginger alone and myristicin from
parsley, which activates
glutathione-S-transferase, (an enzyme that helps detoxify
molecules that can be cancer forming). According to The National Cancer Institute, Americans are eating slightly MORE vegetables than in the 1990’s but nowhere near the 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables that are now considered the standard for good health. This blend will be a vital component in your daily regimen. Its list of beneficial nutrients is almost endless!
